“If you’re not prepared to be wrong, you’ll never come up
with anything original.”
I think I
have seen those videos a thousand times, and yet he still astonishes me with his
simplicity and clarity to explain his point of view.
Sir Ken Robinson was born on March 4,
1950, in Liverpool, England; one of seven children from working-class
background, he completed a PhD in 1981 at the University of London, researching
drama and theatre in education and, since then, he is an internationally
recognized leader in the development of education, creativity and innovation. He
is also one of the world’s leading speakers with a profound impact on audiences
everywhere. The videos of his famous 2006 and 2010 talks to the prestigious
TED Conference have been seen by an estimated 200 million people in over 150
countries.
The video
in question is the 2006 talk at TED when he captivated the attention of the
world with his proposal: schools
kill creativity. He rethinks our
school system and, when I say “ours”, I mean the human race. It’s kind of funny how apparently we know
certain things by heart, but we never put into words – and there you go; it takes
one man to open your eyes, and your ears to what you have already seen, and
heard.
Anyway, we
are all different and my impression about it might be different than yours. Watch the videos and take your own
conclusions… after all, we are supposed to be free thinkers, right?
